Costumes |
The late Dora Stratou managed, by buying old costumes from the villages in the course of 30 years, to equip the Theater with the largest collection of its kind: over 2,000 complete traditional costumes from all regions, an important collection of folk jewelry, as well as a great number of various objects and accessories (village-made shoes, masks, swords, kerchiefs, bells etc.). Most of these costumes cannot be found to buy, nor copies made since the craftsmen and the fabrics do not exist any more. |

Claim: The satirical poem The New School Prayer was penned by a schoolchild.
Examples: [Collected on the Internet, 1999]
Origins: This bit of doggerel has variously been attributed to "a child in Boston," "a 12-year-old girl in Boston," and "a teen in Baghdad, Arizona." Additionally, some versions also lay claim to a date of origin: "This was written by a teen in Bagdad, Arizona, in January of 2000, and posted on a public bulletin board." The earliest example of the full text collected so far comes from June 1999, which immediately puts paid to the "January 2000" claim associated with one version. But the piece is much older than
Now I sit me down in school,
In 1993 a greatly expanded version of the above verse appeared in the pages of The Detroit News, thanks to an article by former where praying is against the rule: For this great nation under God finds public mention of him odd. Any prayer a class recites now violates the Bill of Rights; All I ask is a minute of quiet, and if I feel like praying I'll try it; If not, O Lord, one plea I make: If knifed in school, my soul You'll take.
Now I sit me down in school,
Yet even that example wasn't the beginning of this poem. A Xerox-lore version in circulation is inscribed "1/85 found in Jim's German book":
Where praying is against the rule; For this great nation under God, Finds public mention of Him quite odd. Any prayer a class recites, Now violates the Bill of Rights; The law is specific, the law is precise; Praying aloud is no longer nice; Praying out loud in a public hall Upsets believers in nothing-at-all. In silence alone we can meditate, And if God should be reached, well, that's great. This rule, however, has one gimmick in it, You have to be finished in less than a minute. So all I ask is a minute of quiet, And if I feel like praying, then maybe I'll try it. If not, O Lord, this one plea I make: Should I be knifed in school, my soul You'll take.
Now I sit me down in school
This version is simply signed "Anonymous" — no claims are made that it was penned by an anonymous student.
Anonymous student or adult with a pro-school prayer agenda, the poem, in all its incarnations, is a fine rip on "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" (which itself exists in a myriad of versions):
Where praying is against the rule, For this great nation under God Finds public mention of him odd, Any prayer a class recites Now violates the bill of rights; Any time my head I bow Becomes a federal matter now. Teach us of stars, of pole and equator But make no mention of their creator; Tell us of exports in Denmark and Sweden But not a word of what Eve did in Eden The law is specific, the law is precise Praying out loud is no longer nice; Praying aloud in a public hall Upsets believers in nothing at all. In silence alone can we meditate And if God gets the credit.... great! This rule, however has a gimmick in it: You've got to be finished in less than a minute; So all that I ask is a minute of quiet If I feel like praying, then maybe I'll try it; If not, oh Lord, this plea I make, If I die in school, my soul you'll take.
Now I lay me down to sleep
"The New School Prayer" puts a different spin on the usual arguments in support of school prayer by asserting that the kids themselves I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take Keep me safely through the night And wake me up with morning light By the way, there really is a Bagdad, Arizona. (Yes, that's its correct spelling — the fellow who named the place out of admiration for "Arabian Nights" stories he'd read as a child forgot the silent 'h' that should have been in there.) Bagdad is a town with a population of approximately 1,800. It can be found ninety miles west of Phoenix, at the end of Barbara "letting the cat out of the bagdad" Mikkelson Update: In November 2004, a high school principal in Athens, Georgia, read "The New School Prayer" over the school's intercom, then apologized a week later after receiving complaints from parents who said his actions violated the principle of separation of church and state.

Album Review
Four albums in 15 years is not exactly prolific when it comes to making records. But
Annie Lennox
has never been one to rush things, and her recorded output as a solo artist in life after
the Eurythmics
has been stellar. The last time she issued a recording in 2003 with
, a collection of deeply committed emotional songs that set a new standard for her artistically, though they were written in the turmoil following her second divorce. Perhaps the reason she hasn't had the time to record is her activism. She's involved herself in causes that range from her primary concern, raising awareness about AIDS/HIV (and she refers to this in the album's notes), to the environment and poverty. But
Songs of Mass Destruction
isn't a political album by any means, unless the personal is -- and often it is. This is another album of love songs; dark love songs. These are breakup ballads, statuesque embers of pain and rage that have simmered down to the traces of that dull ache of emptiness that always exists in the aftermath of something profound. The production is characteristically slick, and
is in excellent voice -- it's always startling to hear something new from her simply because that voice is so singular, it becomes a part of the listener no matter what she's signing. Most of what's here is adult-oriented, sophisticated pop. That's nothing to apologize for. The keyboard- and drum-drenched set has all sorts of texture to keep it from being formulaic, such as the accordion on "Ghost in My Machine," which is a rocking number. "Love Is Blind" begins with an acoustic piano and a slide guitar quietly rumbling behind it, though it's a suicide ballad turned inside out. When
opens her mouth, it's all blues scorch wither, letting that big voice wrap itself around some harrowing lines like "I got so much trouble getting in to this/Can't decide if it's hell or bliss/Sometimes I feel like I don't exist/Cut my veins and slit my wrists/Goodbye/Goodbye...Can't you see that I'm so addicted/To the notion of a someone/Who could take me from this wretched state/Save me from the bitterness and hatred of humanity/I'm so screwed up." But she's not pleading; she's declaring, testifying with searing honesty. On the track "Sing," she has donated all proceeds to an AIDS charity TAC (Treatment Action Committee) and enlisted a host of women to sing in a choir who will likely not be heard in the same place again:
Beth Gibbons
Celine Dion
Beth Orton
Angélique Kidjo
Sarah McLachlan
Faith Hill
Beverley Knight
Martha Wainwright
k.d. lang
Shingai Shoniwa
KT Tunstall
Bonnie Raitt
Gladys Knight
, and
Melissa Etheridge
. It's another huge feminist anthem, with a killer hook, a big bad soul/gospel refrain, and a beat that, once it gets into the spine, will not be easily dismissed. But the ballads here are as profound and deep as the big production numbers. The opener, with its lilting Celtic flavor, is devastatingly beautiful and sad. "Smithereens," with its languid piano treading so lightly, offers the singer once more bearing heart and soul in a kind of vulnerability that accepts responsibility as well as lays blame: "Behind the victim/Behind the trouble/Of all the things you've not expressed...So don't make me sad/I couldn't stand to watch you fall/'Cause everybody has a tender heart/Remember this/I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens." "Womankind" is a funky soul number offering wishes that perhaps many women wish for (though men do too), though its expression of raw need and desire may piss off a few of its intended recipients. The track is a bona fide single, though. It's colored by the exotic ballad "Through a Glass Darkly," looking through the mirror of life in the true self, with its cyclical coming together and splitting apart, which is realized utterly in "Lost." "Coloured Bedspread" revisits the electronic beat pop of
the Eurythmics
. The skeletal toy-sounding piano and cheap drum machine in "Big Sky" is lifted by the power of
's voice and her backing vocalists before it breaks into big fat warm loops, and
digging deep into her soul book for the melody.
Anita Baker
, eat your heart out. The set closes with the elegant, complex, and confident ballad "Fingernail Moon," which is sung alone in the emptiness of the night sky, bearing the entirety of disappointment, the smallness of humanity in the universe -- no matter how much we think we're the center of it. The sadness in the song is also confessional and speaks to bewilderment and ultimately becomes a prayer when she sings, "I feel so sad/There's something unsettling under my skin/I don't know the reason or where to begin/Caught in the circles I've found myself in/But I want to reach out and touch you/My sweet sickle moon."
Songs of Mass Destruction
can be heard as a melancholy part two of
, but one feels after repeated listening that
is not only speaking of her own experiences in life and love, but those of her sisters, and the human condition at large, when focused on in the first person, becomes somewhat palatable and embraceable by a third party. It's as gorgeous a collection as
, and pop music should be so lucky as to have more of this kind of thing out in the world. She may not be prolific, but she is always profound, and to date has always delivered the very best she's had to offer, which is, in this case, as well as her other recordings, plentiful and magnificent.

Based on feedback from two recent Neurology Section efforts: the regional course Neurologic Practice Essentials: A Functional Toolbox and Consensus Guidelines for Entry-level Education; the Section is in the process of developing recommendations for outcome measure use in clinical practice and entry level physical therapist education. Currently, the Section has completed recommendations for use of outcome measures in people with stroke. These will be presented at the APTA's Combined Sections Meeting in New Orleans in February of 2011. Section members are currently developing recommendations for use of outcome measures in people with Multiple Sclerosis. These will be presented at CSM 2012. The Section plans on continuing to develop recommendations for use with people with brain injury, balance and falls risk, other degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, stroke, and vestibular disorders.
Recommendations for use of each outcome measure reviewed are categorized by 5 practice settings: acute care hospital, in-patient rehabilitation, home health, skilled nursing facility, and out-patient as well as by acuity level. Recommendations for each outcome measure are also offered related to entry level PT education. Measures are characterized as those that students should learn to administer, should be exposed to, or are not recommended. Finally, measures are categorized as being appropriate for research purposes on a yes/no basis.

Litigating GroupsElizabeth Chamblee BurchUniversity of Georgia Law School December 4, 2009 Alabama Law Review, Vol. 61, No. 1, p. 1, Forthcoming FSU College of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 361 Abstract: Large-scale litigation, such as the Vioxx, Zyprexa, and asbestos cases, breeds conflict. Conflicts arise between attorneys and their clients (agency problems), plaintiffs and other plaintiffs (group problems), and plaintiffs' attorneys and other plaintiffs' attorneys (competition problems). Although these cases cannot be certified as class actions, they still proceed en masse to achieve economies of scale and present a credible threat to defendants. Assuming that coordinating and consolidating large-scale litigation is systemically desirable, this Article explores a new approach to removing the group and agency problems that increase aggregate litigation's costs and undermine its normative goals such as fairness, compensation, and deterrence. Unlike traditional scholarship that emphasizes individual autonomy or welfare maximization, this Article borrows from the literature of moral and political philosophy as well as social psychology to analyze group dynamics within nonclass aggregation. It requires us to view plaintiffs within large-scale litigation as a community of sorts and to recognize that sometimes litigants incur obligations simply by virtue of being a group member, whether chosen or not and whether welfare maximizing or not. Moreover, empirical studies demonstrate that once people consider themselves part of a group, they exhibit other - regarding preferences - trust, reciprocity, and altruism - toward other members. Cohesive group members are more likely to cooperate with one another and care about the collective outcome, and less likely to exit the group when doing so benefits the individual rather than the group In the face of hard cases, of instability and disunity, plaintiffs who have made promises and assurances to one another can invoke social norms of promise-keeping, social agglomeration, compatibility, and the desire for means-end coherence to achieve consensus, mitigate client-client conflicts, and restore the tether between clients and their attorney. Thus, using groups to overcome the problems in nonclass aggregation not only makes sense from a group responsibility perspective, it may also harmonize with wealth maximization and individual autonomy goals.

Communicating science in social contexts: new models, new practices. Springer Netherlands, pp. 119-138. ISBN 978-1-4020-8597-0
Full text available as:
This chapter reviews the discussion in science communication circles of models for public communication of science and technology (PCST). It questions the claim that there has been a large-scale shift from a 'deficit model' of communication to a 'dialogue model', and it demonstrates the survival of the deficit model along with the ambiguities of that model. Similar discussions in related fields of communication, including the critique of dialogue, are briefly sketched. Outlining the complex circumstances governing approaches to PCST, the author argues that communications models often perceived to be opposed can, in fact, coexist when the choices are made explicit. To aid this process, the author proposes an analytical framework of communication models based on deficit, dialogue and participation, including variations on each.

Hello fellow laser sailors! In my quest to repair my Seitech dolly tires I gathered knowledge. Now I will share my discoveries. I have the tubeless knobby Carlisle 145/70-6 tires on older fiberglass/plastic type redish, pink wheels. The air pressure got low and caused cracks to appear in the sidewall. I attempted to put a strap around the tire and force high pressure air into the tire, in hopes of resealing the bead, but the cracks were too deep. This works for some people, however my tires are showing considerable age. Here's the options I discovered after searching the internet: A) $125+ Buy two new Seitech wheels with tires installed from APS or WestCoastSailing. B) $60+ Buy two new replacement tires from an online ATV dealer and attempt to wrestle the tires off of the rim or have a tire shop remove and replace them. C) ~$20 Remove valve cores and pump fix-a-flat slimey goo into the tires, then place them on the axel and spin them around and hope that all of the cracks and leaks get sealed. D) $21 Purchase and insert an inner tube into each tire. Being a handy guy, I chose the cheapest and most reliable option and replaced the inner tubes. It was VERY easy and took less than 15 minutes once the tire shop broke the tire bead. Step 1 - Take your wheels off your dolly and bring them to a tire shop. They put the tire into their press after removing the valve core. The press, pushed the sidewall toward the center of the tire and after a few seconds and a loud "pop" the bead was broken. The tire shop did this for free. Step 2 - Buy new inner tubes. I went to Home Depot and bought Slime Smart 6" Wheel Barrow Inner Tubes that fit a 4.10/3.50-6 wheel, Slime Part #30011. I thought they'd be small, but they fit perfect. Go to www.slime.com they have them for sale their too. Step 3 - Cut old Valve stem off wheel. From inside the wheel take any sharp object, knife, chisel, razor blade, etc.. Cut half way through, then a slit on the side and you can then pry out the stem from the outside of the wheel. Step 4 - Insert new inner tube. Put the valve stem through the hole in the wheel first. Then use a wooden paint brush handle, or something similar that won't cut the rubber, to push the inner tube inside the tire and work your way around the rim. Use a prying motion to get the inner tube completely inside the tire. Step 5 - Inflate inner tube. Clamp vice grips onto the valve stem, so that it doesn't get lost inside the wheel, nor get pressed into an odd angle once inflated. Using an air compressor, give five or six short bursts of air to ensure the tube inflates evenly, then use continuous flow. At about 15 psi the inner tube will push the sidewall out to the bead. You will hear a loud "pop". I continued to inflate to 28psi. You may want to seal the hole in the rim with silicone or RTV, so that the valve stays in place in case of a loss in pressure. It will also keep protect the inner tube from corrosion. I did not do this yet. And you're finished! Ready to roll! Happy Laser Sailing!
Steve, it was as easy as you claimed. Took me 15 minutes both tires. You saved me $140! Two tips, I broke the seal by standing on the tires and used a large flat head screw driver. One tire broke the seal by just standing on it. Also, I sprayed the tubes with WD 40 and could slip the tubes in with just my hands. Thanks for taking the time to post. Ray
I'm happy to have helped! NOTE: Make sure you check the tire pressure, before using your dolly, if you haven't fixed the valve stem to the wheel by some means. My tire lost pressure and the valve stem slipped inside the wheel. Fortunately, I was able to fish it out. Otherwise, I would have had to basically start the procedure from step 1 again.
I have been looking all over the place for this. My tire shop was unwilling to work on plastic rims for obvious reasons. I'm sure I can find another that will break the bead for me. I would recommend four things in addition: 1. Use very soapy water to get the tube in. 2. If you will be storing your boat at the lake on the dolly, or even if the dolly just sits there, put it up on blocks so there is no pressure on the tire. 3. Armor all the tires with the syrupy Armor all to preserve them. 4. Use a hot melt glue gun to fill the gap between the valve stem and the wheel. JB weld may also work well and it won't have a chance of heating the wheel.

I was going to skip the del-ton kit for that reason. But a complete del-ton rifle isn't much more. Only thing that sucks about that route is, I don't get to pick options like chromed lined barrel and m4 feed-ramps which I could choose if I bought a kit. But I was going to get a few Magpull PMAGS which I have seen people say will feed the round high enough so it wouldn't matter if I had the m4 ramps or not. Anyone ever confirm this?
Spikes tactical told me it was a system glitch that caused the price to be so low and they were loosing money at that price is why they raised it. I guess I lost out on that deal by not jumping on it a couple days ago when I found it.
I wish that M4 chart had more brands on it since there are so many out there.
Does anyone know what other brands del-ton has or does make parts for?

Then contact the folks hosting the chart over at M4Carbine.net and update them. Be prepared to answer exactly what is outdated and where you gathered your information, as all of theirs is gathered from people who actually know what's what; the chart isn't made of guesses. Also keep in mind that the chart is dedicated to basic M4-like rifles only (hence why only one rifle of each company is shown, and not all companies are represented).
eBandit, Del-Ton doesn't make all that many parts. They, like most other companies, rely on another company to do the manufacturing to specs they provide.
I could care less about whats what and them stating facts about each riffle brand, the only point I wanted to make is that they show a small amount of models. For example going back to Stag, they only have a model 1. There are at least five different models other than the model 1.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow. End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
As OD explained, the Stag model listed is the one most closely resembling the basic M4, just as with every other company on that list. Every company on that list sells multiple models, but the only ones listed are the ones most closely resembling a basic M4 rifle; Daniel Defense didn't originally "make the cut" because their original offering, while excellent, also came fully-loaded and thus is not an even comparison to the other basic M4-esque rifles, and they didn't get included until they made a basic model. Del-Ton was left out of the list because they don't build and sell complete rifles, which is also a requirement for inclusion on that list - that's what kept LMT, Charles Daly Defense, and BCM/Bravo Co. off at first.
The "chart" isn't about appealing to people's sensibilities. It's about presenting honest information in as fair a comparison as possible.
I don't understand what your saying there- am I missing something? You can order a complete rifle from them and I can buy them locally that are complete from del-ton. They might not make all the parts but I don't think all of them on that list make every single part themselves either. I assumed they were not on the list because they were new to making complete rifles.
As far as del-ton not making many parts, I have read on many posts and a few articles that del-ton has been making parts for other manufacturers for years and just recently started making their own rifles models. is this not true?
This may be true; last I looked at Del-Ton they offered everything but a complete rifle (by which I mean a complete and assembled upper mated to a complete and assembled lower). It may also be that they are not as willing as other companies are to share details about their rifles necessary to mark yay or nay on that chart. The folks who put the chart together are better to ask about that than me.
That might depend on what parts we're talking about. Last I knew they don't make receivers, they don't make barrels, they don't make stocks, and likely don't make the plastic-ware (grips, handguards). This might have changed and I fully admit to not being as well educated as I could be regarding exactly what they do make, and have only previous conversations with them to reference (wherein they describe that their parts come from the same sources as Colt and other bigger companies do). It might be worth a few minutes giving them a ring and seeing what the nice lady answering their phones can tell you.As far as del-ton not making many parts, I have read on many posts and a few articles that del-ton has been making parts for other manufacturers for years and just recently started making their own rifles models. is this not true?
If you want Del-Ton, by all means go for it. Just understand what you're getting. The first part of the chart, and the main intent of it, is to educate you on the features of the rifle and their importance (or lack of importance). Taper pins might not be a big deal to you, or castle nut staking if you're going to replace the stock anyway, etc.
I don't know if Del-Ton sells complete rifles but I know they sell what they call rifle kits, which is everything you need to build one yourself. It comes with a complete upper in which you add the bolt carry group. It also comes with the stripped lower, stock, and lower receiver kit, which is the fire control assembly.
Also, I don't know how far along with it they are but they were making their own barrels last I checked. I believe they were testing them or just got the blanks.... I can't remember. They stated that they were having such difficulty in getting barrels from suppliers not being able to fill orders, they decided to make their own. (note that I'm not advocating buying an unknown barrel from a fresh manufacturer. I'm just stating the facts as I know they have posted on AR15.com.

Del-Ton said they either make their own parts or have them made for them. I had read that they made parts for other in the past, but del-ton says they don't make any parts for anyone else- but even if they did an agreement might prevent them from saying so because Ive heard such before
I do know for sure that they do sell complete rifles. That is what I was looking at when I went to a local dealer- it was a rifle from del-ton not something the dealer put together.
Del-Ton also lists complete rifles Del-Ton, Inc. AR-15 Rifleson their website as well as parts and kits.
Their rifle kits have everything you need to complete a rifle except for the stripped lower and that's is all you need.
I might check out a Stag this weekend.

You can do that, they must have ordered a rifle kit and then also added a stripped lower to the cart. they sell lowers also, but the rifle kit doesn't come with it by itself.
It says this after the info on the rifle kits: Rifle kit does not include stripped lower.

So far we have learned about three different kinds of for loops, so you are probably wondering when to use each one.
A substantial difference between the notation for($i=0 ; $i<$limit ; $i++) and between for $i (0 .. ($limit-1)) is that the first accommodates itself to changes in $limit, while the second will iterate for a constant number of times. Of course, you can make the first one similar to the second by assigning the value of $limit to a third variable that will remain constant. Still, the second notation is usually safer from that sense.
The foreach $item (@array) loop is quite handy, but sometimes when iterating over an array of items the index of the item is of importance. In that case, one may prefer to use a normal for loop.

USDA Restores Monthly Milk Reports in Limited Form
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's statistical arm has reversed a plan to eliminate some monthly reports that dairy farmers and milk processors say are important to their business.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service said last month that it would suspend multiple reports covering at least 10 agricultural products because of $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts that had gone into effect.
Those reports included the agency's monthly milk production estimates, which producers use to make decisions about marketing milk and other dairy products.
NASS had suspended the reports through September but now says it will provide them using information already supplied by government entities, cooperatives and other organizations. It will not survey individual milk producers, as it has in the past, because of the added expense.

UO Greek students improve grades.
Byline: Greg Bolt The Register-GuardStudents in the 21 fraternities and sororities at the University of Oregon got their highest grades in decades during winter term, earning a 3.1 combined grade-point average that puts them on par with the rest of the UO's undergraduates - the first time that's happened in more than 20 years.
Greek grades climbed 0.17 of a point over fall term compared with 0.03 of a point for undergraduates as a whole, according to the UO Panhellenic Council. University and chapter officials believe the improvement is evidence that a renewed emphasis on scholarship and service by Greek houses is working.
"I definitely think that as an overall trend we are on the upward swing," said Kara Merrill, vice president for scholarship for the Panhellenic Council and a member of Pi Beta Phi.
While Greek organizations have taken the initiative to improve, UO President Dave Frohnmayer also has pushed changes in Greek culture. In fall 2002, he imposed an alcohol ban at all university-affiliated fraternities and made a number of once-voluntary standards mandatory.
Included in those was a requirement that individual fraternities and sororities have grades equal to the overall undergraduate average for men and women, respectively, or that they show continued progress toward that goal.
In the fall term grade report, undergraduate men had a 2.96 GPA and women had a 3.16, marks equaled by the Greek chapters. Three of the nine sororities met or exceeded the women's average, and six of the 12 fraternities beat the men's average, Merrill said.
About 1,300 students belong to Greek chapters at the UO, out of a total undergraduate enrollment of 16,000.
Frohnmayer said he was heartened by the improvement and believes it heralds a shift in how Greek organizations are regarded.
"For the moment, these numbers are powerful enough that they do not lie to us," he said. "There really has been a significant turnaround in behavior, in focus and in seriousness of purpose."
Shelley Sutherland, director of the UO's Greek Life office, said she has seen signs that chapters are taking scholarship more seriously. Where most houses used to do little more than hold an unsupervised "study hour" once a day, most now offer better-organized study periods, have set up study partners and provide more help to freshmen who typically struggle in their first year of college.
More students are coming to the university with higher grades and test scores, and she said chapters realize that to recruit new members they must show those students - and their parents - that Greek life and academic success are compatible.
She also noted a newfound pride in the improved academics that should help carry the trend into the future.
"I'm confident that they will continue to do good on their grades," she said. "I think they're enjoying the success and the feeling of doing better and improving."
Jason Breaux, chapter president of Delta Sigma Phi, said he thinks chapters are paying more attention to how they're perceived by the public as well as by potential pledges and their parents.
"I have sensed an overall greater emphasis on responsibility," he said. "That includes risk management as well as holding each person to high academic standards."
In another sign that the initiative is working, Sutherland said the four fraternities that already have live-in adult managers - a new requirement all chapters must meet by fall 2005 - also had the highest grades last term.
Neither Sutherland nor Frohnmayer believe that every house is following every rule, any more than students in every residence hall or off-campus neighborhood are. But Frohnmayer believes that the emphasis on scholarship is creating momentum that will keep the Greek system on the right track.
"There were some who were reluctant to embark on this thing, not because it wasn't the right thing but because they were afraid they would fail," he said. "I think what they've seen is they can succeed and have a good time doing it."
Leading the grades list:
Pi Beta Phi sorority: 3.41 chapter GPA
Kappa Delta sorority: 3.28
Chi Omega sorority: 3.21
Delta Sigma Phi fraternity: 3.16
Beta Theta Pi fraternity: 3.12
Sigma Chi fraternity: 3.09
